I just heard it again on ESPN and honestly I agree with everything that Herbie said...

Mark May's riffing on the NCAA now. Making a few idiotic comments in there. Typical.

The NCAA is a fraud though.

Oh geez. He said that the only reason they are playing in the Sugar Bowl is because they are from the Big Ten. Any SEC player, like Ryan Mallet, would be suspended from the Bowl Game, no question. Its because the Big Ten is the NCAA's sacred cow.

agreed. after all, no can of worm would be opened if the ncaa permits student-athletes selling jerseys, rings, and whatever else. i mean, it's not as though boosters would use this market as a means to funnel thousands and thousands of dollars to key players. i mean, it's not as though boosters would promise recruits that they will get a ton of money for the future sale of their goods.

You gave them the rings, gold pants, etc, you cant tell them what to do with it afterwards. If your worried about players selling their stuff, then dont give them anything until after they leave the school.
And even at that, then punishment doesn't even remotely fit the crime here

Herbie needs to be careful lecturing others on character issues. This is the same guy who took an unwarranted >$1 million charitable contribution deduction for burning down his house based on an extremely dubious theory of custom in the Columbus IRS office. For the players who got caught up in the violation, this is a teachable moment. For the crack media people who implicated Brewster, Fields, Newsome, etc., I am waiting to read the apology.

Bitter because we didn't take Pitthole.

Here is what I can tell you about Mike Adams. During the time that these offenses took place, his mother was laid off, his father had a stroke and his cousin (was seriously like a sister) died. His family was seriously strapped and going through MAJOR turmoil. Mike, in his case, did what he felt he had to do.

thank you for the information. mike isn't excused for what he did, but i doubt many of us here wouldn't have done the same. if my parents were suffering horrible hardships and if i were not in a position to make money, i would likely do the same thing that mike did.

yes, you -- that is, the ncaa -- can tell them what to do. this is not a legal matter. you do understand the difference, don't you? the ncaa has every right to determine what the players can and cannot do with their jerseys, rings, etc. don't blame the ncaa for players abusing the rules. pryor, posey, and the rest knew full well that it was against the rules to sell their items.
